Trailer for Ben Stiller’s Tropic Thunder

Ben Stiller is making a new movie. It’s called Tropic Thunder, and here’s what I know about it:

• The plot is basically this: a group of actors is making a movie about a war in the jungle. The people who live in this jungle don’t know it’s a movie, so they start fighting back. Oops.
• Ben Stiller plays a badass action hero
• Jack Black plays a gross-out comedian making his break into serious film
• Robert Downey, Jr. plays a method actor so dedicated to his craft he undergoes plastic surgery so he can play a black guy in the movie. That’s right, Robert Downey, Jr, a white actor, is playing a white actor playing a black guy.

Got it? No? Then watch the trailer:

Tropic Thunder hits theaters August 15th.
